We all meditate on what we have done or wish to do. Talking through your thoughts has been found to have its benefits.
Here are three surprising benefits of talking to yourself.
1. Instils self-reliance
People who talk to themselves when faced with different problems are able to come up with solutions by themselves without including a second party. Your inner voice helps you in knowing exactly what you want to achieve after you have solved the situation.
2. Helps in relieving stress
Talking to yourself will help you in organising your thoughts which leads to reduced anxiety and stress. This will help you feel relaxed and get you back in the flow. Giving yourself that talk will prepare you on what to do in case of a challenging situation. It also fosters your confidence and courage.
3. Helps you to trace items faster
According to research, talking to yourself helps you find misplaced items faster. The study carried out by psychologists from the University of Pennsylvania and University of Wisconsin-Madison found out that when people utter the name of what they are looking for, they tend to locate it faster compared to those who search quietly.
